The wait is over for fans who missed the cinematic roar of engines. Brad Pitt’s high-speed blockbuster, F1: The Movie, is shifting from the big screen to streaming. After a record-breaking run in theaters, the film is now available to watch at home for audiences across the globe.
The film’s journey to streaming follows a historic theatrical release. It debuted in international markets on June 25, 2025, and in North America on June 27, 2025. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the movie went on to earn over $629 million worldwide, securing its place as the highest-grossing sports film of all time.
Global Streaming Release Date
F1: The Movie made its global streaming debut on Friday, December 12, 2025. The film is available exclusively on Apple TV (the service formerly known as Apple TV+). This release allows subscribers to watch the movie as part of their monthly subscription without needing to rent or buy it separately.
The announcement was officially made by Apple Original Films in October 2025. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer shared his excitement about bringing the film to a wider audience through streaming.
“It’s been thrilling to see audiences around the world embrace ‘F1 The Movie’ in theaters,” said Bruckheimer. “Now, we’re beyond excited to bring this exhilarating, cinematic ride to fans everywhere through Apple TV’s unparalleled global reach.”.
Where to Stream F1: The Movie
The primary and exclusive streaming home for F1: The Movie is Apple TV. The service is accessible in over 100 countries and regions on a vast array of devices, including iPhones, iPads, Apple TV hardware, Mac computers, popular smart TVs from Samsung, LG, and Sony, as well as gaming consoles like PlayStation and Xbox.
For viewers who prefer to own the film or watch it before the subscription release, F1: The Movie was available for digital purchase or rental starting August 22, 2025. This early window allowed fans to buy the movie on platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Google TV, and Vudu.
In the United States, viewers also have the option to access Apple TV through a discounted bundle with Peacock. The Apple TV and Peacock Bundle launched on October 20, 2025, offering both services together for a reduced price. It’s important to note that the film itself streams on Apple TV within this bundle.
How to Watch F1: The Movie from Anywhere
Since Apple TV is available worldwide, most viewers can subscribe directly in their country. Subscription prices vary by region:
- United States: $12.99 per month
- Canada: CA$14.99 per month
- United Kingdom: £9.99 per month
- Australia: AU$15.99 per month.
New subscribers can start with a seven-day free trial. Furthermore, customers who purchase a new iPhone, iPad, Apple TV 4K, or Mac can get three months of Apple TV for free.
For travelers or people living in regions where Apple TV is not officially available, using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a common method to access the service. A VPN allows your device to appear as if it is connecting from a different country, such as the United States or the United Kingdom, where you maintain an active subscription. Many streaming guides recommend reliable VPN services for this purpose.
F1: The Movie Cast and Production
The film boasts a star-studded cast led by Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a retired Formula 1 legend coaxed back into the sport. He is joined by Damson Idris as rookie driver Joshua Pearce and Javier Bardem as team owner Ruben Cervantes. The supporting cast includes Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, and Kim Bodnia.
The production benefited from unprecedented access to the real Formula 1 world. Scenes were filmed during actual Grand Prix weekends, with the cast driving bespoke race cars on iconic tracks. The film also features appearances from real F1 champions like Lewis Hamilton, who served as a producer, and Max Verstappen.
